Re: U.S. 72! |
Medici is a gold mine .
Thinking about Bartok, this early stereo recording is a classic, and sounds great .
http://www.amazon.com/Bartok-Concerto-Orchestra-Percussion-Hungarian/dp/B000003FEJI think Weir has talked about the Music for Strings etc. This is 20th century music that is pretty digestible, and to my mind very evocative .
...hey I though this was a Rolling Stones 72 thread !

Re: U.S. 72! |
Ha ha ! Written in an era when Classical Music was a healthy institution . Same spirt as "A Night At the Opera', and all those great Warner cartoons poke fun at the stuffiness of the music establishment of the time . As they said in the Punk era, "Fuck art, let's dance".
These days , when Classical ( and Jazz for that matter) is on the run, and devalued in our culture, if I think about it too closely... Ludwig, and Peter Ilyich, have rolled almost out of musical sight , But it is still a great Rock anthem. and the man is one of the greatest writers in R&R ever ...
Even though Chuck a pain in the ass (read Keith's book on this show), and a scuzzy fuck .

Re: U.S. 72! |
I was fortunate enough to live in Prague for about 6 years and got tons of exposure to great live classical music on a real frequent basis for not much cash at all. I miss it. Here in the states, it's just a different deal.
"scuzzy fuck" - what, you got a problem with hidden bathroom cams in the man's own restaurant? Or some even more disturbing things I won't mention...
I did read Keith's book. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Re: U.S. 72! |
Chuck is a creepy guy . I read his book and where most autobiographies make you feel better about the author (say, the Keith book, with some caveats), Berry's made me like him less . And the bathroom cams, and his "disturbing things", reinforce that opinion .
But he still is a giant of pop music .
It is funny, 3 of the remaining 50's greats, are all people you would not want as neighbors . Chuck - sleezebag, Little Richard - crazy , Jerry Lee - dangerous, and "vile" . Like your records guys , but please live in another state .
